Crimson Cutlass Omnibus

ADD TO WISHLIST >

Adventure as a gentlemen pirate in the Era of Exploration and Reformation.

This is the definitive edition of one of the most innovative RPGs written. Originally three volumes, now including the recently written Book Four: Campaigns, and new adventure material exclusively for this Omnibus. Five books, all in a single source.

Characters, combat, missions, encounters, down-time, campaigns, and back again; all action generated with a deck of Tarot cards.

Cutlass is a wellspring of ideas that can be adapted for any genre from High Fantasy to Science Fiction, Superheroes and Horror (and they have been), as well as a masterclass in world-building and campaign design. The ideas presented WILL change the way you look at other games.

For this edition, only the "Book One" section. This can be purchased as Print on Demand from Amazon under the title of "Crimson Cutlass Fundamentals."

This contains the character generation rules, and the tables most used by the GM and players during a session, but none of the Scenario design tables (Book 2), Encounter design tables (Book 3), World generation titles (Book 4), or the 200 pages of so of supplimentary rules and tables exclusive to this omnibus (Book 5).

The print on demand volume is $25

Here's a few more videos of me riffing in solo play:

Tells a nice story, the system.

Is this the same edition that is broken up into several books on Amazon as Kindle ebooks?

I dug a little and answered my own question: Yes, it is! So a further question - to you plan on offering a POD for this?

No it is not the same as the old books. There is tons of new stuff. Most of it only available in this edition. Very different from the version for sale a Bezos Book Dealership.

Don't let this one slip by you. Cutlass (as the cool people call it) is a one of kind gem.
Contained in the base game is rules for Characters, Ship creation and combat, Conflicts of Arms at Company and Army levels and even Sieges, rules for generating sophisticated Scenarios including detailed tables to generate the action.
As they say, too much to list here.
If you could only take one RPG to that desert island, well, take D&D (what are you crazy) but if you can take 2, then take Cutlass. You won't be disappointed.

Haha, yeah it is!
I'll either break it into books to print it out or maybe try 2:1 (I think) which would knock it down to @383pp.
I have had good luck with non-factory toner so that would only be a few $.

I was just over at RPGGeek and looking into adding this Omnibus Edition, but I'm relatively new there and am a bit intimidated about trying to do that.
Even though I've yet to play, I'm very (too?) excited about your game and trying to spread the word to new folks.
("you can't go wrong for a couple of bucks")

Cheers!

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
